Maya:

I woke up but couldn't lift my head up. Something was holding it down and I panicked at first but saw me and Shawn under the blanket, pulled up to his shoulders and he looked so cute.

Shawn's head was resting on mine.
But then it stuck me, for him to fall asleep on my head...Oh dear, I've fallen asleep on his shoulder and he had fallen asleep on my head. This is so weird, and now I feel so ashamed.

Cute?
I don't think so, we hardly know each other.

I looked up and saw him but then I saw Aaliyah looking at me with the biggest smirk on her face and she was wiggling her eyebrows up and down. She took a picture but I looked away.
I instantly blushed of embarrassment and took my head of his shoulder.
Making his head fall down and he woke up from the sudden movement.
"Oh sorry!" I said and placed my hand on his shoulder, chuckling softly.

"It's okay. Did you fell asleep on-" he asked but I cut him off. "Apparently I did. I'm sorry." I said and blushed. His cheeks also became a light pink shade.
Man this boy... he's so cute and just amazing.

"No problem. I didn't complain did I?" He said with a smirk and I laughed. He looked at me as if he was examining my face and his eyes met mine. I saw concern and sadness in his eyes and I don't know what's going on.
It was as if he wanted me to tell him something deep but I didn't know what. "Aaliyah can you please go get me a piece of tissue." He asked his sister and she nodded standing up and walking into the row to the bathroom.

"I have so-" I started and picked up my bag, but he cut me off. "I just wanted her to leave so I can ask you what happened to your cheek." He said looking directly into my eyes. Glued there and not moving away or breaking the trance.
His eyes still looked sad and concerned though but my eyes just widened as I looked away.

He sawit.
Shit.

"Maya, I know what a punch bruise looks like when I see one. Who hit you? Who hurt you?" He asked and I looked at him, he had sympathy in his eyes and he looked as if he was about to cry. I don't know why though.
"It's nothing seriously." I stated, whispering almost. Really not wanting to talk about it, even though I feel like I can trust him.

He cupped my cheek and caressed the spot of my bruise gently with his thumb. "You don't have to tell me, but just know you are a part of the team now so I'm always here if you need me." He whispered and turned to where Aaliyah was now walking back up to us.

I blushed at his statement and placed my hand softly over his, giving it a gentle squeeze before Aaliyah sat down.

He doesn't even know me, yet he cares about me. But I must say he looked a bit sad when I didn't tel him about it. He really wants to know and try to help.
I think I should tell someone about it, but I'm scared because I don't know what people will think of me then.

If this guy isn't superman himself. I don't know who is because he has a heart of gold. And to think that he cares so much after just a few hours of knowing me... wow.
